Don't Get a Conventional Bank Loan

 

Most banks consider business acquisition loans risky and thus require large down payments and offer unfavorable terms such as:

❌ Large down payment requirements  of 25% or more
❌ Higher interest rates due to the perceived risk of the loan
❌ Short repayment terms causing high monthly payments
❌ Balloon features which requires refinancing every few years
❌ Prepayment penalties for paying the loan off early

What is an SBA 7(a) Business Acquisition Loan?

An SBA 7(a) business acquisition loan allows funding up to $5 million for purchasing an existing business or franchise using SBA-backed financing.  When purchasing a business, most entrepreneurs do not have the cash on hand to pay the full value of the business, and SBA loans for business acquisition can provide up to 90% total financing. Banks consider business acquisition loans to be risky.  By having the SBA guarantee the loan, it mitigates the risk for the lender, which increases the chance of your loan being approved.  


If any of the following apply to you then you may be a good candidate for a business acquisition loan:


  • You are looking to buy an existing cash flowing business
  • You would like to buy out a business partner
  • You want to open a new location with an existing franchise
  • You want to acquire a competitor for strategic growth

What is the repayment term and interest rate of an SBA 7(a) Business Acquisition Loan?

SBA 7(a) business acquisition loans typically have a repayment term of 10 years, or up to 25 years if there is a real estate component.  This allows for lower monthly payments compared to a typical term loan offered by a bank, which may have a repayment term of only 5 years.  

 

Since banks generally view business acquisition loans as risky, those interest rates are normally higher than those offered by SBA-backed loans. The SBA caps the interest rate that lenders can charge and most SBA loans are the Prime plus a margin up to 2.75%. Today, the maximum interest rate lenders can charge on an SBA loan is 6.25%. 

How Long Does it Take to Get an SBA 7(a) Business Acquisition Loan?

It typically takes 45 - 60 days to close on a business acquisition loan, depending on the complexity of the deal.  Working with a non-Preferred Lender Partner can add weeks onto this timeline, as non-PLP lenders must send your application to the SBA for approval.  Our PLP status saves you weeks of processing time. 

What is the minimum credit score for SBA 7(a) loans?

In order to be approved for an SBA 7(a) loan, the borrower must have a minimum FICO score of 650.

What can an SBA 7(a) Business Acquisition Loan be Used For?

One of the benefits of using SBA financing is the ability to receive capital for multiple business needs.  Your SBA loan proceeds can be used for:

  • Buying an existing business
  • Purchasing a franchise
  • Buying out a partner
  • Working capital
  • Inventory
  • Equipment
  • and More!
